Question

w is the image of the point w after a reflection.
w(9, -6) → w(9, 6)
over which axis was point w reflected?
x - axis y - axis

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the reflection rules

When a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the \(x -\)axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(x, - y)\). When a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the \(y -\)axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\).

Step2: Analyze the given points

We have \(W(9,-6)\) and \(W'(9,6)\). The \(x -\)coordinate remains the same (\(x = 9\) for both points), and the \(y -\)coordinate changes sign (\(y=-6\) for \(W\) and \(y = 6\) for \(W'\)).

Answer:

\(x-\)axis
